Clinical and laboratory prognosticators of atrophic papulosis (Degos disease): a systematic review

Table 2 Demographic, clinical and laboratory factors associated with the development of MAP (n = 75)

Independent variable	Odds ratio	95% CI	p value
Female	0.77	0.27 to 2.36	0.361
Comorbid AiCTD	0.084	0.004 to 0.73	0.048
Age < 18 years	0.91	0.23 to 3.7	0.0486
High ANA and/or low C3/C4	2.86	0.59 to 19.0	0.895
Atypical distribution	1.75	0.17 to 43.8	0.223
Elevated ESR and/or CRP	21.3	2.62 to > 100	0.023

Multivariable logistic regression of 75 cases demonstrates that Degos secondary to AiCTD is less frequently associated with development of MAP (OR = 0.08, CI 0.004 to 0.73). Elevations in either of ESR or CRP were associated with MAP (OR = 21.3, CI 2.62 to > 100). There were no associations been MAP and pediatric patients, sex, atypical distribution, or a positive anti-nuclear antibody and/or hypocomplementemia
